No,I am NOT saying that!! IF YOU drive normal(and put it together right),the
chances are it will last as long as the orignal,BUT the fact is, on the
AVERAGE when you modify a engine/Drivetrain it usually means that you will/are
not going to drive it like a AVERAGE vehicle,you will beat/Drive it HARD,which
in TURN puts MORE than average wear and tear on the
Motor/drivetrain/body,which in turn MAKES for
Breakdowns/Repairs/$$$$$$/Bigtime,I am saying on the AVERAGE,you may be lucky
and have one that does not brake down,AGAIN for the hardheaded,ON THE
AVERAGE,modified hard driven,Non-sponsered,streetdriven vehicle,put together
by the average Joe.
